Five strangers, one of them the devil on a soul collecting task, are stuck together on a broken-down Philadelphia elevator waiting to be rescued.

Devil is a low budget movie done right. The director and acting are competent, but the real star of the show is the screenplay. The run-time has been criticized as too short, but a longer movie would have led to over-telling of the story, unnecessarily dragging out the plot.

Rankings: Robert Parker 92. James Suckling 90. ElsBob 90-91.

ABV: 15.0%

A deep red in color with notes of black fruits. A full-bodied wine, medium-high in tannins with a medium and balanced finish. Pairs well with rich foods high in fat such as marbled steaks or cured meats.

This is an excellent wine at a good price.
